Pilot trials at selected sites will commence soon and MyEG aims to sign up its existing corporate customers of its various services as users of PayMe.

Running on a monthly subscription basis, PayMe is the latest in an ongoing series of innovations introduced by MyEG to help businesses better manage their labour force. This compliments its existing offerings that include foreign workers recruitment services, online renewal of work permits and insurance, among others.
